Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
But where are the decoders Martin?Other than Meridian gear, which is very very expensive, I know of no end-user decoders.Of course there is G-Format, but there is very little content available in G.Maybe we should start an "Ambisonics Primer for A... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
WHOOPS...I so meant ambisonics, NOT quadraphonic. 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Quadraphonic baby.If that technology EVER gets off the ground, it will be better than stereo. 
Recommended amp for Ohm Walsh Super 2's?
I also have the new Walsh Super 2's. After reading a lot, I just got tired of listening to my great speakers with such a sh*tty amp, so I jumped on the next good deal I found. Paid less than $500 on Audiogon for a 125 watt Parasound amp and matchi... 
What's your favorite audio codec?
If I hadn't already ripped 15 GB of music into lossy, I'd take your advice Jc51373! I like your solution. 
How to audition used speakers???
What do you think of the newer Klipsch floorstanders? 
What's your favorite audio codec?
I like this idea a lot but it poses two problems in my mind: you need A LOT of storage on your computer (I just have a mac laptop, I'd have to buy a huge external drive) and you have to spend time putting all of your music into two formats. Do you... 
What's your favorite audio codec?
Jc51373, I am also a Mac user, so I understand why you would use ALAC. If I went lossless, I would probably go for it too because it's a bitch to deal with the other formats on OSX.The only reason why ALAC is inferior to some other lossless codecs... 
What's your favorite audio codec?
I have to agree with Osgorth here. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying Jc51373, and I think you may have been mislead. ALAC is not 1:1, it is lossless compression, just like FLAC or Monkey's. (That's why it's called Apple Lossless Audio C... 
What's your favorite audio codec?
Apple Lossless is cool because it's lossless, but it SUCKS compared with any other lossless format I know of, especially FLAC and Monkey's Audio. Both of these formats compress the file much more than Apple Lossless can. Check them out. 
What's your favorite audio codec?
Osgorth, I believe that Rockbox supports Monkey's.I should note that I switched back to the iPod OS for three reasons:1. Significantly worse battery life with Rockbox2. Significantly slower performance with Rockbox (this could have had to do with ...

What do you all think of Magnepans for this application? 
Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic
Audiokinesis,The single driver dynamic speaker that you mentioned had great imaging, did this happen to be an Ohm speaker? 
How to audition used speakers???
Thanks Mcpody, will do! 
How to audition used speakers???
Great posts and great points! Honest1, I think you're totally right; I was worried that Spicas wouldn't fare well only being driven by 40 watts. In a dormroom, I think that abuse could be possible. For those of you skeptical about putting ANY syst...
